It wasn’t to be tonight. WIth fans back at the Valley, it would have been nice to have a performance to match the enthusiasm, but MKDons were enough to take the three points.
I don’t think we were as bad as the match thread suggests, but we certainly have a lot of room for improvement based on tonight’s showing. On another night, one of Prattley’s chances would have gone in and we’d have salvaged a bit of dignity.
I think we would have benefitted with starting Chuks and getting off to a better start.
Over to you.

Shame Pratley hit the bar from a chance he might have attempted to be too cute with.
We miss Doughty's attacking spark as it leads to goals or assists.
Bow's and Jacko have to get rid of this inconsistency in effort, structure and quality. It's becoming a habit.
It's a long, old, weird season.
I’m angry after that performance. Bowyer doesn’t know how to line a side up without pace, which is ironic as we’ve got one of the most immobile squads in the division.
I think top 6 (maximum) is it for us this season unless we can do good business in January. Unsurprisingly we need pace up top.
We are crying out for a mobile CDM. Watching Pratley and Watson is fine in games where we dominate the ball. Watching them chase shadows and get dispossessed by a superior midfield is just depressing.
It’s a squad with a lot of good names, but one that’s not very cohesive and lacks the attacking threat required to take us up automatically.
On a final note, Gilbey has been so disappointing thus far. I was expecting big things and got a slightly more technical Christophe Lepoint instead.
Can only get better than that (although I said that after Gills and Burton).
after that performance,
His primary job is that of a defender though, he's no different to Gunter who wont advance forward very often, certainly wouldn't have him as a Wing-Back... Regardless though, for all his "inability to go forward" he was still one of the few who didnt put a foot wrong whenever MK Dons had the ball, so did his primary job!!
Shrewsbury, apparently the only team without a home win this season. I wonder what is going to happen on Saturday!!
I ask because I didnt see us gifting MK Dons any goals like the ones we conceded @ Burton
